Chamber Choir - 4/3

Today we all wore our chamber uniforms so that we could record the Holst for Kevin. For the first few minutes we reviewed and ran through sections. Then we recorded. As I had expected, the quality of our production was not as good as it had been by the end of the previous class. I'm not even sure it was an improvement on the last recording. Unfortunately, the person recording the piece started making noise at the end so we had to re-record it. The second time we recorded the ending was much worse than the first time, especially for me personally, so I felt very badly about that. It was a real pitty. There were just some things that never did sound right! I hate that. Part of me wonders if Kevin should have assembled a smaller group of only the upperclassmen, because singing this piece correctly takes advanced technical skill that not all members of this choir have. After we recorded, Kevin gave us cookies and we went on our way, probably never to sing the Holst again. So tragic to leave such a glorious piece without really having done it justice! Ah well. Such is!
